Biography

I attended the Colorado School of Mines, receiving my bachelor's in Engineering Physics in 2017. I subsequently joined the United States Army from 2017 to 2022, becoming a certified HAZMAT/CBRN response specialist. Following my honorable discharge, I decided to attend Idaho State University with the intent to receive a Master's in Nuclear Engineering in 2025. After my first year, I was involved in a project with INL to evaluate efficient separation methods for domestic rare earth production. My areas of interest are the applications and capabilities of fissile and fertile materials in the fuel cycle, as well as criticality and material safeguards.
